    I still say something doesn't add up, unless the FX-6100 ( I assume 4 cores 6 threads) I'm eyeing is only slightly better than a 1090t; but anyone expecting a SB killer is going to be "disappointed."
    FX6100 with the leaked specs (3.3Ghz stock/3.9GhzT),and if these 8150 performance number are true, has no chance against Thuban 1100T. In MT apps it will lose hands down to 1100T,now that 8150 barely manages to beat it, while in ST it will score lower than 1100t @ 3.7Ghz (which is its max Turbo). Potential buyers are left with higher OC headroom though. If FX6100 can go to ~5Ghz on air than it might be a solid alternative to 1100T,but even at close to 4.8-5Ghz it will be slower or on par with 4Ghz Thuban.

    edit: I have no clue how AMD can ask 190-200$ for FX6100 versus 200$ for 1100T. Thuban is being EOLed ,true,but we should expect that its price will go down after the FX launch so it makes even less sense to price FX6100 at the present level of 1100T now that we "unofficially" know how 8150 performs...

    You can add Deneb 3.7GHz to be a burden for that FX also..
    Hence the whole current FX4 lineup would simply be worse than the current deneb lineup. (they overclock better but thats it).
    If the FX8150 barely edges the x6 1100T
    FX8120 which performs up to 17% less in MT is going to be worse.
    FX8100 wont be competitive with the X6 1055T..
    Fx6100 won't be competitive with X6 1055T nor x4 3.7GHz
    FX4170 will trade blows with x4 3.7GHz
    FX41xx will be betweeen x4 3GHz and x4 3.7GHz.

    llano @3.1Ghz > Fx4100 in cpu performance.
